Citizen Resources

I encourage you to find out more about what is going on in Colorado; there are numerous resources available, but here are just a few.

Many people want to know what the Legislature is doing, so take some times to watch us in action, or read up on the current bills passing through the Colorado House or Senate.  Remember, though, ours is a part-time, citizen legislature that is only in session January to early May each year.

Current state laws as defined in the Colorado Revised Statutes are the rules that our courts enforce, rules passed by previous legislatures.

You may also wish to visit the Secretary of State of Colorado for an abundance of information from elections, and businesses to Colorado regulations and much more.

To get more local information please take time to find out what’s going on from the official web sites for the towns of Cortez, Mancos, Durango, Silverton, Ignacio, or Pagosa Springs.

Sometimes I am asked about Federal issues, and on occasion I have been asked to vote on bills going through congress. As nice as it would be to be two places at once, I doubt I would want to be both a state and federal representative. Please take time to get more information on the U.S. Congress and Senate.

You can even look up bills going through the U.S. Congress and Senate from the Library of Congress.

If you are in Southwest Colorado, you can contact your U.S. Congressional Representative John T. Salazar; or contact your U.S. Senators for Colorado, Michael F. Bennet and Mark Udall.
